Secrets aren’t the best thing—which is why we share everything we know about the Starbucks secret menu. We recently clued you in how to order the fresh-for-spring Lemon Meringue Frappuccino. Now, we have an even newer chocolaty beverage: Twix Frappuccino.
It’s a mix of caramel and mocha, and customers can’t stop asking for it.
You’ve seen already seen the Frappuccino customized to resemble Chewbacca. Now you can get one that tastes like the world’s best candy bar! As with many viral Starbucks drinks, the Twix Frappuccino isn’t on any official menu—you just have to know how it’s made so you can order one. Luckily, TikTok user @maariamarmora posted a video that shows you just how to ask for the tasty treat. You can also follow these easy steps:
Step 1: Order a caramel Frappuccino from the regular Starbucks menu.
Step 2: Request two pumps of hazelnut syrup, java chips and extra caramel, plus a mocha drizzle on top of the whipped cream. Now we’re talking Twix!
All that’s missing is the cookie crunch, but we guarantee you won’t even notice.
Tell Me More About the Secret Menu
The off-menu items at Starbucks might be one of the world’s worst-kept secrets. But before you order, check out our guide to the Starbucks secret menu. That’s not all, if you’re allergic to gluten, you can order from this list of gluten-free drinks at Starbucks.
We encourage you to get creative with your coffee with one caveat: Think of the barista when ordering. Secret menu beverages take a lot more time and effort, so make sure you have the recipe ready or use the app to order. If you see a long line, wait to order your 12-ingredient masterpiece until a better time. Don’t feel like going out? Learn how to make Starbucks’ brown sugar shaken espresso at home.
